MG TD TF 1500 - Chrome cleaner

May be a silly question but is there a preferred chrome cleaner/restorer favoured by the contributors on this forum.Mine as a car to be used is showing its age but I can't justify rechroming just yet.

JK,


I've been using this product for about 50 years, it does a good job. You can use it with fine grade (0000) wire wool on hard to clean sections of your chrome parts. Available from your local Halfords.

Belgom Chrome is what I use.

Simichrome paste. Great on brass and all metals as well. Not abrasive.

If your chrome is past its best try aluminium foil and vinegar.

Bronze wool works great. Won't scratch chrome and leaves no particles to rust. For stubborn areas add a little automotive liquid buffing compound. Best stuff I've found. You can get bronze wool at better (local, not big-box) hardware stores and at boat supply places.
